It's like everyone has forgotten the past meme stocks of /r/wsb. GME is not something out of the ordinary. They do this all the time. First someone will pick a stock to pump and if it rises some people win and some will be left holding the bag. Remember the SPY puts at the beginning of 2020? The Chinese coffee startup that got delisted? NKLA? How PLTR pump lost the energy?
You know what I'm missing? The almost realtime map from ucte.org which updated every 3 to 5 seconds on my Pentium3 933 with only 512MB Ram in the browser.

I think it needed some plugin, either Java or Flash, but you could zoom in or out, either to the whole of Europe, or down to the substations in the cities and towns.

It was like google maps or similar. AND it had all the transmission lines, power plants, and substations.

And color coded lines, with KW/MW/GW and arrows indicating the direction of energy flow on them.

Anybody could view it without having an account there. At least I did, from time to time.

This way of viewing it in realtime is now gone, or at least not accessible to the general public anymore.

Does anybody know some equivalent?

Sites with bargraphs and charts need not apply.
I agree wholeheartedly. Similarly to Android, people took AOSP and worked it into a full system. Google providing the APIs is even detrimental to the open source cause. Because of the convenience, people are not as hard-pressed for an alternative.

Honestly HN, I really fear for the community's inability to see this channel for what it is. It's not mental illness it's white supremacy. Call a spade a spade.

It's not just about libraries.

Autoconf for example can abstract across different compilers from different vendors, with all their various incompatible command–line arguments. And it does that for a dozen or so different languages, not just C.

It can abstract across different function signatures in the libraries you're using. For example if you're calling a libc function where the arguments have changed, you can detect which version of the function you have and make your code work with either one.

It can do the same for structs and types as well.

It can test for system services, such as X Windows or the ability to run Perl scripts.

It can abstract over the differences between different implementations of common utility commands such as awk, grep, install, mkdir, and so on.

It does a lot of stuff!
Awesome and inspiring story.

I personally can't see paying a subscription for an exercise machine though. Why can't I just buy something and own it without needing to provide recurring monthly revenue to the company who sold me the thing? Rowing is boring, but I solved that for myself with a pair of headphones and a podcast. I have a hard time imagining rowing based games being as interesting (though I did like the concept of your pros versus Joe's).

All said, obviously people do pay subscriptions for stuff like this so best of luck to you and congratulations on your success!
I didn't say that Huawei is the gold standard. Just that Huawei has already begun its own app store, and if Samsung does it too (and pushes it aggressively like Huawei does), Google Play will be done in no time.

The new Huawei phones don't have Play store or any Google services.
Yeah, same thoughts. The gdpr didn’t change much but made small companies like these more vulnerable and web browsing more unbearable. Data is still getting collected and big companies don’t care.

It is baffling to me that something being open-source is more important than not letting your data be harvested by advertisers, potentially law enforcement, etc.

I wish hacktivist groups targeting those that do "Evil Shite" would emerge as I see no other way to stop corporations and governments doing whatever they want to. When even an exposure like Snowden's is basically meaningless there seem to be no other way. Just blowing the whistle doesn't do much if anything. I've just seen in mainstream media (Netflix documentary Spycraft) that Snowden "gave 1 million documents to China and Russia". When media like Netflix tells viewers such propaganda unopposed it is clear that Snowden might as well have kept his job. Sadly I have neither the money nor brains to make a difference myself outside voting so fingers crossed some that do, will.
So now the new proposal is for people to live in RVs, and wander from town to town? No security. No firm ground to call home. This is a life worse than the medieval ages.

There are also passport checks when you fly to Norway from other EU countries. For flights between other EU countries you generally just show the QR code on your phone. At least that was my experience, but it's been a few years since I last flew. (Except flights to UK before Brexit, I think they always required passport checks)

Would you mind mentioning some good options? I've always been interested in databases, but find it hard to know which ones to learn more about and when they'd actually be worth investing in (especially since it's hard to build knowledge from toy projects).
> One annoyance is that it often feels like "./configure ..." takes longer to run than the actual "make".

Agreed. The configure script doesn’t take advantage of concurrency, but make can.

But the number one cause of slow configure is that people forget to run configure -C. The -C option makes it cache the outcome of all of the tests, so that it doesn’t have to do them all again. This is a huge time–saver!
'Preying' is a bit much. Nobody is forced to use grindr and the whole point of the app is to meet same-sex people geographically close to you.

This whole case seems to revolve around whether the 'Legitimate Interest' legal basis is valid or not. It was only a matter of time before it was legally challenged.
It is primarily a tool for analytics engineers (coined by the dbt team I think[]) to write more robust, managed, version controlled, DRY analytics SQL. The tool is designed to be run on an analytics data warehouse (Snowflake/Bigquery/Redshift) and generally used to provide fact & dimension tables to BI/visualisation tools.

I get your confusion, I don't think it is designed for a DBA, but it makes a great tool for an ETL engineer, especially in the modern ELT paradigm.

> tool to avoid hiring a DBA

Yes in a way. With ELT tools like Fivetran/Stitch and highly flexible "zero-tuning" data warehouses like Snowflake/Bigquery, there is very little need for a DBA unless it is a very large organisation, and the role will more likely fall to a "Data Engineer" type role, ultimately much the same as a DBA, just a modernisation.

Perks of Using an Online Logo Maker to Design Your Food Logo
I went to one of these Sunday dinners about 5 years ago. I was living in Paris and taken there by friends - who didn't explain the concept to me in advance. So I found myself in someone's house, with a massive buffet table and was expected to help myself - there was then a long conversation with my friends about what was going on. Much incredulity on my part :-)

I met Jim very briefly - I guess I was one of hundreds of new people he meets every month. Mostly I hung out with other guests - who were mostly expats (I didn't hear much French) - and who also didn't know Jim very well.

He definitely stepped outside the box with this idea. This is something almost anyone with a big house could do in any place, but which only he actually did.
They are sending all of their user's data with an "opt out" flag and leaving it to the ad companies to honor it? Slow clap?

It also caught my eye that their TOS didn't allow users a choice in data sharing, it was either agree or don't use the app. That might have some wide ramifications, I've encountered many web sites that won't let you past the sharing opt-in until you click agree - i.e. it is impossible to disagree. It is a completely foreign concept for US companies.

Wikipedia says Grindr is based in California, US. I wonder if they will pay the fine or refuse. If they have no assets in Norway I imagine it may be hard to collect from them.
AFAIK the continental synchronous area frequency is long-term-synchronized to atomic time (i.e. the cumulative grid time must stay within X seconds of the reference clock).

Looking at the (partial) graph suggests that the south-east part ran faster for the entire duration of the disconnection.

Does this mean grid-synced clocks in the south-east part are now permanently ahead of the atomic reference, or are they planning a mitigation (which I assume would have to mean disconnecting again and running the SE part slower for a bit)?

The various dark patterns employed by these consent systems are fairly opaque to anyone who bothers to open them, and are clearly deliberate attempts at maintaining the old status quo of "opt-in by default". Frankly, I am surprised at how few of these fines are flying around, though I am quite happy to hear they _are_ happening.

I do get that this type of regulation is very disruptive to many companies, but if they cannot survive with informed consent, then perhaps they should not have been so successful without it in the first place.
Why would they? Do inside job bank robberies make bank vaults obsolete?

Also, the mere fact that data is publicly available does not imply you can use it at will (https://iapp.org/news/a/publicly-available-data-under-gdpr-m...). If a company has data it isn’t allowed to have, and leaks it, it still isn’t allowed to have that data.

Everyone getting rich with crypto, with Game Stop, Tesla (and other option trades), with SPACS, in the tech industry, and so on. I wish I had paid more attention to some of these trends.

Not just financial opportunities, but it seems like there is great debate online about GameStop, the US economy, and other interesting topics, and I find myself on the outside looking in as passive consumer, rather than being a participant and contributor. There is so much going on and I feel like I am either late to the party or missing out.

Back in the 70s, Carter at least seemed to care about the American family’s wallet.

Legal heroin won't solve the issue of overdoses. Instead there should be a "replacement" program - proposing different drug to these people, of course on 1 by 1 basis in a special medical facilities.

>I never understood the concept of "optional" library.[...] In case it is not installed the compiler will fail with a very clear error message. [...] and in your makefile you will link your executable with -lpng. And that is all! This works in linux, bsd and macOS. What the fucking else do you need?

Interesting condescending tone there. I didn't downvote but if I can try to answer the core part of your misunderstanding: Many do _not_ want the build to fail when library png is missing.

Example projects using this type of build optionality are FFmpeg and Qt.

For example, ffmpeg lets you build with the optional Fraunhofer FDK AAC (libfdk_aac)[1] encoder but it is not GPL license compatible. If everyone followed your "assume libfdk_aac is already installed" advice, many people would be stuck at the "very clear error message" and not be able to have a working GPL ffmpeg.

Same idea with Qt optional libraries.

[1] https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC
Large projects can take dozens of minutes up to hours to compile. It's extremely frustrating if the build system doesn't tell you in advance if it expects the compile to work. Having an error message once every 20 minutes, adding a package and restarting the build is terrible. (Also, for package systems like DEB or RPM, you can't just continue a compile that half-finished.) Now imagine you're a Linux distro and doing that for thousands of packages...
Right, so the article is talking about data sharing which isn't core to the service, that makes sense.
ENTSO-E is the successor organisation to UCTE [1], with its functions transferred to ENTSO-E in 2009. So if anyone has the data, it would be them. Interesting that the ucte.org website still seems to be online and frozen in time!

I've been a member of WSB since January 2020 and this is not entirely accurate. If you look closely, it is unclear whether WSB is actually what drives a pump. Quite often, something happens, a stock gains insane valuations and WSB finds it after the fact and spins some narrative or tries to profit even more.

The SPY puts weren't at the beginning of 2020. I was actually one who took a huge profit from being early with SPY and DAX puts, but I also lost some money later on when SPY puts were still the rage.

The fascinating part is that you don't really know if WSB is actually the pumper. With smaller caps, that might be true to some extend. They banned mentioning of small caps with less than 1 billion in market capitalization a while ago for this reason.

WSB pumps and dumps: SPCE, LL

Certainly not: MSFT, SPY drop in Feb/March 2020, TSLA, AAPL

Probably not: HTZ

Unclear about the extend: GME, BB, PLTR

So, is WSB a driver of stock prices or is someone else driving the prices and blaming it on the "retards" on WSB? This happened in July/August 2020 with tech and one culprit was Softbank.
> If they have no assets in Norway I imagine it may be hard to collect from them.

I thought, but have never verified, that fines given as GDPR enforcement can be collected throughout the EU/EEA. If this is true, and if European courts uphold the fines when Grindr undoubtedly challenge them, then it's my understanding that the Norwegian DPA can have Grindr assets elsewhere in the EEA seized.

Does anyone know for sure?
A white supremacist whose MO is joining news clips to clips of niche TV shows? Mental illness seems more plausible to me, even if part of the mental illness is making the person racist. It's an illogical thing to do that takes a lot of effort.

A racist behaving rationally might just put the news clips together and or add commentary and sensational titles. They might put their clips on popular movies or new trailers so more people would watch. They might make shorter clips in the middle of the trailer, because, as is, putting the news clips at the start means anyone looking for the trailer will just bounce on seeing something else.

Surely there is a history of racism and obviously there is a racial element to this, as I identified in my previous comment, but the bizarre and irrational nature of it makes me think it's either automated fraud or mental illness. Also, I don't understand the relationship between this and framing black people for crimes, as far as I could tell the video clips are real clips from the news about black people committing crimes.

I and three other CS/Eng seniors were going through full time job interviews on campus in Canada. We interviewed with the big Canadian software firm at the time and with a large US software company.

While there were interesting things about the show, like how Joe manipulated Gordon and others much like many stories of how Steve Jobs acted, there were just so many inaccuracies that annoyed the hell out of me. For example, the C64s were shown to have C:> prompts like DOS machines, probably because the set designers thought that all "old" computers worked that way and were too young to actually know the era.
I don’t think that you are limited regarding newer language features when you develop for embedded devices or limited in the use of more safety focused languages.

E.g. Ada, despite being in the older age for computer languages was specifically designed with embedded programming and safety features in mind and does this quite good.

It also supports OOP if you want that sort of thing and more crucially has pretty good concurrency support build into the language while still being reasonably safe. With SPARK/Ada you even get a language variant that can be formally proven. To name some more modern use cases.
How does this affect timekeeping? Normally, if there is a drop in grid frequency, a small increase will be planned later to maintain a long term average frequency of 50Hz so that clocks that keep time by grid frequency stay accurate [0].

The network split seems to have made this impossible, during the split, the cycle counts for the two regions diverged, and the split ended before this was reconciled. Will people in one of the regions have to adjust their clocks?

The mortgage is also often able to be discharged by selling or giving back the house as it's a secured loan. No one is lining up to give a quarter-million dollars to an 18-year old who has no track record of paying back significant loans, no current income to backstop such a loan, and where there would be no repossessable collateral in the event of a default.

I think your comment shows a misunderstanding of open source. Open source doesn't mean that a service is provided free of charge. You can just get the code, and that's it, no usability is implied. They absolutely don't pull the open source rug, in fact they are shining a light on how NOT open-source your Chromium experience was.
I agree with one thing though: services are not to be trusted. They, or at least you, should have ways to migrate, as painlessly as possible.
> Does this mean grid-synced clocks in the south-east part are now permanently ahead of the atomic reference, or are they planning a mitigation (which I assume would have to mean disconnecting again and running the SE part slower for a bit)?

That's the standard procedure. Maintaining an exact frequency can be hard, but counting cycles is easy. So the frequency will slew to slowly compensate back.

Edit: Here's a Tom Scott video on a UK–Continental divergence that happened a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bij-JjzCa7o
I wonder what are the benefits of keeping the grid synchronous?

Would it be possible to have multiple smaller grids, still interconnected, but without being kept in sync?

I'm not sure if what I'm saying is possible or efficient, but converting AC to DC, transmitting the energy, then converting DC to AC so the frequency becomes irrelevant.
The FTSE All-World has returned 82.5% over the last 5 years, while the FTSE Developed has returned 82.9% [1]. The difference is neglible if you ask me, and 5 years isn't that long anyway. The fees depend on the ETF you buy - in Europe, the difference between ETFs tracking All-World and Developed is around 0.08%. The biggest difference is that the Developed index "only" has 2000 stocks instead of the 4000 of All-World.

Another issue in Europe is that the accumulating ETFs (more tax efficient in most countries) tracking the Developed index have low liquidity.
